Logitech Unifier

A program to pair devices to a Logitech Unifying Receiver on Linux. Also works for Nano Receiver (Non-unifying)

Logitech only provides a Windows program to do this, so if you're running Linux, you either need to pair your devices on a windows box or use the unify.c script.

Quick How To - BETA

Run:

./autopair.sh

This script which will do a bunch of stuff automatically.

• It will automatically compile the binary (if needed)
• mark it executable (if needed)
• find the Logitech device in hidraw
• run the script with additional prompting (turn off device first)

Longer How To if Above Doesn't Work

1. Compile it

gcc -o unify unify.c

2. Find your hidraw device

To find it, run the following for every hidrawX on your system until you find HID_NAME=Logitech USB Receiver:

cat /sys/class/hidraw/hidraw0/device/uevent

If hidraw0 isn't it, try hidraw1 and so on.

3. Pair it

Run:

sudo ./unify /dev/hidrawX

Where X is the matching number from step 2.

4. Turn on your device like the tool will say.

That's it! Device should work now.
